Tracing Your Immigrant Ancestors
Seymour Library welcomes the Genealogist and Board Chairman of the Godfrey Library Albert Fiacre. The Godfrey Library is Connecticut's foremost non-profit Library specializing in genealogy, family history and local history. Since 1947 the staff at the Godfrey have been offering the public and members help in finding and interpreting genealogical information in their print , digital or one-of-a-kind resources at the Library. Mr. Fiacre will discuss the sources and materials that exist to help in locating records of original immigrant ancestors that traveled through different regions of America. Useable sources will vary depending upon the time period in which the ancestors initially arrived. Records for early colonial ancestors--for eighteenth and early ninetieth century arrivals, and later nineteenth and twentieth century immigrant records coming for work opportunities when governmental requirements for record keeping begin to appear--will be touched upon. For more information about this free program call the Library at 203-888-3903. Registration is not necessary for this program.
